Training Programme Education Conference
The Education Team offer regular briefings for Headteachers and Chairs of Governors to update them on current education issues and provide support. These along with the support and training for new church school leaders and Year 6 Celebration are offered to all of our church schools at no charge.
The team provides a comprehensive training programme for governors, headteachers and school leaders, clerks, teaching staff and clergy. Most of these courses include unlimited places to schools with a 2024-25 Partnership Agreement. Course fees for non-partnership schools and courses not included in the partnership are indicated on the booking forms.
The majority of our training and briefing meetings are held online via Zoom unless indicated in the schedule. However we have increased the number of face to face events for the 2024-25 academic year.
